Forced March = Military Engineering (under maintenance as of 22 April 2019)

NOTE, PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBSCRIBING: (added 22 April 2019)
Currently there are some issues where certain texts added in the latest patch (since the entire political system has been altered) are not shown correctly, which I am trying to fix as soon as possible. Thanks for the patience.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Forced March stance is horribly overused by the AI. I wanted to remove it, just for myself, as there are already mods out there doing this.

But as it cannot be completely removed anyway because it is hardcoded and you will always see the button, the idea grew to completely replace it with a new stance. I came up with the historically accurate Military Engineering. Armies that weren't directly engaged in military campaigns spent their time on building projects to keep them productive. Mostly this meant the building and maintenance of the roads, but they also occasionally engaged in local mining. I thought this would be the perfect option to replace Forced March with, the bonuses (listed in screenshot above) are ideal for a local defending stationary army.

I also edited the garrisoned situation, armies in towns now just get a morale bonus and no more public order, to make the bonuses of a garrisoned army in Military Engineering stance not stackable.

Save compatible and should work with all mods, except those that edit the army stances directly. Total overhauls like Radious might pose a problem too. Navy's Double Time remains untouched as I personally feel there's too much use for the player too.

And, yes, I know:

DEI did something like this already.
Divide Et Impera has changed Forced March into "Patrol Region", which shares some features with this stance (like a PO bonus and banditry reduction). As I never played DEI (mea culpa, I know, I moved over to other TW titles before getting into it) I found that out while looking stuff up working on this mod. I admit it was a bit of a bummer, as I actually and naively thought I had an original idea. I have considered coming up with something new, but I enjoy playing the vanilla campaign with this feature myself so I decided to share it as is. Just with the disclaimer (more like an honest pinky swear) that I came up with this idea myself. And of course it makes this mod not very compatible with DEI.

You are still ambushed when attacked in this stance.
I wanted to keep the no recruiting and no battle initiation features of Forced March as that works for this stance too, but originally I didn't want to keep the "always ambushed" feature. Sadly, that feature is hardcoded in the stance, so I had to keep it in. A good thing is that the AI doesn't use this feature nearly as much as far as I can see, because the increased movement range is removed, so begone cheesy "lure the AI into easy ambushes" tactics. You just have to take extra care yourself and don't use it when enemies are near.

Banditry reduction is still displayed in vanilla campaign.
The banditry reduction from the stance is currently displayed with the stance in vanilla and other campaigns not using the banditry feature. The stance still works, the banditry reduction just doesn't have any effect. I guess I could upload a non-banditry version to make it look a bit more polished, but as this one works for all campaigns anyway it just isn't a priority at the moment.

Any suggestions, feedback, feel free to post a comment!

One thing I want to find out from you guys: an army in this stance slowly improves the road network in the province each turn, and yes, it's stackable, so I'm not sure yet how OP this is. As roads don't have THAT much of an impact, I think it will turn out fine - at least in my campaign it did. But yes, feedback is very much appreciated.
